PROGRAM

Our program today was guest speaker William H. Costelloe, Ph.D., President of Costelloe & Associates Inc. Dr. Costello received his doctoral degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Louisiana State University where he received a special commendation for academic excellence. For over thirty five years, Dr. Costelloe has consulted with both public corporations and family-owned businesses throughout the country.

One of his specialties includes conducting pre-employment assessments, team building workshops and employee opinion survey research for his client companies. His assessment system integrates a series of assessments to evaluate the best job fit and align people with their best business strategy to achieve success.

We wish to thank Dr. Costelloe for a very informative program.
